I was thinking about the odd, sometimes obscene mumbling in Idiocracy which is what English is going to devolve into if it hasn't already.

What are some movies that have their own language or extreme sort of lingo. obvious examples

1. Nell - I've never seen this all I know about it is that Jodei Foster has her own language she made up

2. pootie tang "wadda ty!"

Hopefully those aren't the only 3

Snatch. Despite multiple viewings I still have no idea what Brad Pitt says in it the bulk of the time.

That's just Welsh, dude.


In the "post-apocalyptic" section of CLOUD ATLAS, they speak a kind of devolved English. The movie opens with a scene from that segment, which might not have been the best decision. It took me about 20 minutes to decide whether I liked the movie or not, and I think most people decided they didn't.

Star Trek, Avatar, and the Fifth Element all created entire alien languages for their characters.

I think it's supposed to be Shelta (aka the Cant), since they're Irish Travelers.  Or it may just be a heavy standard Irish accent spoken quickly.  Probably not authentic in any case, since it's Brad Pitt doing it.

BRICK (2005) is well known for playing with language.

Oh, you're probably right. It's been a while since I watched SNATCH. I just perceived it as Welsh  at the time.  BounceGiggle

In QUEST FOR FIRE the cavepeople's language was developed by Anthony Burgess, the guy who wrote A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. There are no words spoken in any real language in the movie.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
